You don’t need another accountant. You need someone who understands your business.

Most contractors don’t struggle because they lack effort.

They struggle because the numbers behind their business don’t give them clear answers.

And too often, their accountant isn’t built to fix that. That’s where Highpoint is different.

Built on decades of real experience — not theory

Highpoint Advisory Services is led by Susan Bannwart, CPA.

She brings over 30 years of accounting, tax, and advisory experience working with small and mid-sized businesses — including construction companies.

This isn’t surface-level knowledge.

It’s decades of:

Before founding Highpoint, Susan worked in roles that required:

As shown in her background, she progressed through roles including:

That progression matters.
It means she didn’t just learn accounting.
She learned how businesses actually run.

A CPA who works like an advisor — not just a preparer

There’s a difference between reporting numbers and helping someone use them.
Susan built Highpoint around that difference.

Most firms focus on:

All important. But not enough.

Highpoint focuses on:

That’s why clients don’t just get reports. They get clarity.

Why construction businesses choose Highpoint

Construction isn’t like other industries. Margins move job by job. Cash flow depends on timing. Insurance audits carry real financial risk.

If your accountant doesn’t understand that, you feel it.

Susan has spent years working with businesses where:

That experience shapes everything we do. This isn’t generic accounting.
It’s built for how your business actually works.

The standard is simple: we get back to you with clear answers

One of the biggest frustrations contractors have with accountants is simple: They don’t respond.

Or when they do, the answer isn’t clear. Highpoint was built to fix that.

Clients can expect:

No jargon. No delays. No guessing what the answer means.

Credentials matter — but how they’re applied matters more

Susan holds:

She has also:

Those credentials matter.

But what matters more is how they’re used:
To simplify complex decisions. To reduce risk. To help clients move forward with confidence.

Bookkeeping. 
Job costing. 
Tax. 
Advisory.

A different kind of relationship

Highpoint isn’t built around transactions.
It’s built around long-term partnerships.
Most clients don’t come for one service.
They stay because everything starts working together.

All aligned. All structured through the Highpoint Financial Blueprint™.

What clients notice first

It’s not just the expertise.

It’s how things feel different.

They get answers faster. They understand their numbers more clearly. They stop feeling like they’re always reacting.

And over time, they start making decisions with confidence.

This is not the right fit for everyone

If you’re looking for the lowest-cost option, there are simpler firms.

If you just need tax filing once a year, this may be more than you need.

But if you want:

Then this is built for you.
